Marseille, Vacation -- First Day.

Uff. I'm tired because i slept in the airport of Stockholm (Skavsta)... but nothing to claim about, i'm very happy that my flight is going on time and i'm really looking forward to a nice vacations in Marseille. The weather forcast predicts that the days i'm going to be will be sunny and nice.
I arrived to the airport of Marseille (MP2) 5 mins in advace: well done Ryanair :) and in only 2 mins i am out of the airport and looking for my shuttle to the city center (you should travel to the central station which is called Saint Charles with a shuttle and after that with a subway and a bus it´s possible to get the backpackers hostel i reserved). The price of the shuttle is incredible 8,5 euros... i miss again berlin.. hehe you can get from the airport to the center for only 2 euros.
In St Charles i found a promotion: 5 one way tickets to use the public transport for only 6 eu!! Ufff... i was thinking that my wallet will get sick of France but it feels now better: Ticket bought. St Charles itself is beutiful and i saw old trains departing from there.

The hotel is very funny, with a corridor so small that only a person can walk at the same time .. through a stair it leads to the second floor. Everything is small but it's well decorated. My room is small too, but couchy and enough for me. After a shower i'm now ready to go out.. but wait, i'm hungry too. One fast exploring walk near to the hotel helps me to find a Pizza Place.
I was so hungry that i bought 2 pizzas. The owner of the hostal told me that he knows a better place to buy pizzas but the ones i bought were nice thou.
Cookies and some desert was bought also to have a nice meal at home.
By the way... finally i decided to buy my digital camera.. obviously in berlin, only 3 days ago. Now i can start to look like a 'pastuso' taking pictures to everything that moves or every trafic lights. :P Well.. i need it. I want to share with the people i love whatever i do and the excersice of writing also helps my memory and with it i can practice also my english. Corrections are really welcome.

Ag... now is too late. I will try to go out tomorrow early and head towards the center of marseille. Walk in the center, search for the tourist attractions or only to enjoy the view of one of the oldest cities of Marseille will do me good. Lets see what Marseille has to offer.
